According to officials, the unidentified man told onlookers that he “had a bomb on him” before he proceeded to climb up the 85-foot ferris wheel.

Police also stated that the man continues to yell at officers from on top of the wheel.

However, due to the screams and loud noise in the area, authorities have been unable to make out everything he is saying. Santa Monica Fire Department officials are using cherry pickers to rescue those still stuck on the ferris wheel.

Police have also now closed down the Santa Monica Pier to the public.
